Please, I love to see more writers on my feed. My algorithm is a little messy. Kindly react to this if you are a writer and maybe share the link to a piece you wrote in the comment section. I want to read your work.

The Board, Management, and Staff of Nation Media Group Uganda have honoured and celebrated the remarkable legacy of Daniel Kalinaki following his retirement as General Manager Editorial. For more than two decades, Kalinaki has been a steady and influential voice in the newsroom, serving as a guiding force and a source of inspiration to many journalists. His dedication, professionalism, and commitment to excellence have significantly shaped the NMG Uganda newsroom and mentored generations of reporters and editors. All the best, Mr @Kalinaki 🫡.

Huge gratitude to my publishers, Flatiron Books and Macmillan.

[Winnie Byanyima @Winnie_Byanyima]

I condemn in the strongest terms the violent attack on the home of Barbara Itungo, the brutal assault on her, her staff, and the continued persecution of the family of @HEBobiwine.

A violent, militarised election can never reflect the will of the people. Kidnaps, abductions, killings, leaders forced into hiding—and nearly 10 days on, the internet still deliberately crippled.

This is state terror, not democracy. This is not the peaceful country we fought to have.
